Best Answer

for an isotropic media you can divide the force on every element in two components.

-bulk component

-rigid component

now bulk component is associated with bulk modulus and other is associated with modulus of rigidity(written as meu).

now bulk component is the one which causes the matter to get compressed and the rigid component only changes the shape of the volume. now, water do not get compressed, it is incompressible and that's why the the force on it is affected by only the rigid component. thats why the modulus of rigidity is zero.

Fluids, such as water, are nearly incompressible, and exhibit a bulk modulus of about 300,000 psi (2 GPa). That means that if confined itis diffuclt to compress. It also means taht poisson ratio is near 0.5, the maximum

For modulus of rigidity and elastic modulus, those values are essentially 0.

Note that if E = elastic modulus and K = bulk modulus, and u = poisson ratio, then

E = 3K(1-2u) = 3K(0) = 0
